Applied Hydrogeophysics For Managed Aquifer Recharge
(2018-02-15)
This thesis investigates the application of hydrogeophysical monitoring and characterization techniques in the context of managed aquifer recharge (MAR). MAR is a sustainable technology in modern water resources management. ...
A Statistical Analysis of Surface Ozone Variability Over the Mediterranean Region During Summer
(2018-10-11)
The Mediterranean (Med) region contains the highest surface ozone (O3surf) concentrations in Europe, in particular in summer. Although atmospheric chemistry models (ACMs) are able to reproduce the regional O3surf maximum ...
Decision-making under uncertainty in model-based water management: The science-practice interface
(2018-07-10)
Balancing the different needs and demands of water users and managing the supply side under temporal and spatial variability and extremes has always been a challenging task for water managers. However, accelerated environmental ...
Remote sensing based assessment of land cover and soil moisture in the Kilombero floodplain in Tanzania
(2018-08-15)
Wetlands provide important ecological, biological, and social-economic services that are critical for human existence. The increasing demand for food, arable land shortage and changing climate conditions in East Africa ...
Isoprene Secondary Organic Aerosol in a Global Chemistry Climate Model
(2018-09-26)
Atmospheric aerosol influences the climate system, modifying atmospheric radiation directly and indirectly. Up to 90% to the total organic aerosol is formed through the oxidation of hydrocarbons and subsequent nucleation, ...
Stochastic physical models for wind fields and precipitation extremes
(2018-07-03)
A major goal of this thesis is to introduce stochastic, physically consistent models for precipitation extremes based on the moisture budget. The moisture budget describes the moisture flux convergence and is essential for ...
Funktionale Analyse von Fledertier-Gebissen (Chiroptera)
(2018-04-13)
Fledertiere (Mammalia: Chiroptera) sind mit ungefähr 1200 Arten in 18 Familien die zweitgrößte Säugetierordnung nach den Nagetieren und die einzige, die zum aktiven Flug fähig ist. Sie sind nahezu weltweit verbreitet und ......
Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) are with about 1200 species in 18 families the second-largest order within the Mammalia after rodents and the only one with the ability for active flight. They have a nearly worldwide distribution ......

Towards a probabilistic regional reanalysis for Europe
(2018-06-14)
A new development in the field of reanalyses is the incorporation of uncertainty estimation capabilities. In the course of this work, a new probabilistic regional reanalysis system for the CORDEX-EUR11 domain has been ...
Impact and Range Extension of Invasive Foraminifera in the NW Mediterranean Sea: Implications for Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning
(2018-01-18)
Climate warming and the poleward widening of the tropical belt have induced range shifts in a variety of marine and terrestrial organisms. Among the key taxa that are rapidly expanding their latitudinal range are larger ...
Flooding in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and the challenge of climate change
(2018-02-16)
The country of Bangladesh is located in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river delta, and faces multiple natural hazards, in particular flooding, and other challenges such as sea-level rise and a growing population. Dhaka, ...
